Randall Farrar, CEO/President of Esquire Innovations, Inc.

"Law firms are increasingly using Track Changes to monitor changes made to live documents when collaborating with clients. I believe we are going to see more firms using Word's native tools for document collaboration instead of purchasing third party applications that work outside of Word. iRedline 7 was born from this belief. Designed to enhance Microsoft Word's Track Changes and Compare Documents features, iRedline starts where Word leaves off. Firms want to use Word's native Compare, but their users require certain features that are missing in Word. They can now add iRedline to their Word environment to provide the DMS integration so important to law firm's workflow, reporting features and the ability to control how results are displayed"

The Microsoft Word Compare and Track Changes features are widely used by firms during document collaboration. When comparing different versions of a Word document it produces the result as a Track Changes document. For workflow purposes, result documents created in native Word can easily be shared and viewed by clients or co-counsel outside the firm and be absorbed back into the firm after editing by outside sources. Moreover users already familiar with Word's Track Changes can work efficiently on result documents with no training required.

iRedline 7 takes firms to the the next level by making Microsoft Word even more powerful by providing many additional features and flexibility.

iRedline is unique because it provides an extensive Ribbon that consolidates the compare and collaborative process in an easy to use workflow. iRedline creates a better comparison result document than native Word, and adds those features missing that are crucial for attorneys and law firms.

iRedline is designed using Enhanced Native Architecture (ENA). Read more about ENA
